The Nuclear Power Renaissance
Actual Reality writes "It is ironic to me that much of the same sentiment that thwarted the nuclear power industry back in the 80's is partially responsible for reviving it. Nuclear power is very clean compared to any power source that burns fuel. The US has missed several advancements in nuclear technology. We can only hope that environmental concerns will not again stifle our progress."

Yeah, no CO2 output, and there's an infinite supply of it, thank goodness!
Except it would have been packed in containers designed for that, so nothing would have happened except container retrieval.
Sounds like you two should get a room and geek this out.
Yeah, the containers would be designed to not leak in an explosion... just like the Challenger was designed not to explode and kill its crew.
My first thought on reading "nuclear power renaissance" was along the lines of "Wouldst thou care for some weapons-grade plutonium, m'lord? Huzzah!"
Yeah, no CO2 output, and there's an infinite supply of it, thank goodness!
There is a technological solution to everything. Just feed that CO2 to photosynthetic methane-generating bacteria and then sequester the methane by pumping it deep underground where it won't bother anybody.
No, it's a bonus, dinner would arrive right out of the sky!

To lower my carbon emissions, I am now only driving my car 35 miles per hour per day!

You've got the order all wrong:
